FIG. 3A illustrates an exploded view of electronic components of an acoustic device. Circuit boards 31, 32 and 33 of an acoustic device are connected by an interconnect structure 34. Electronic components are formed on the circuit boards 31, 32 and 33. The interconnect structure 34 may include FPCs or other interconnect structures. A battery 35 can be provided in the acoustic device.

FIG. 3B illustrates an assembly of the electronic components of the acoustic device in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. The circuit boards 31, 32 and 33 are stacked. The thickness of the stack is T1. The circuit boards 31 and 32 and the interconnect structure 34 surround a battery 35.

The acoustic device 3 may include a speaker 30, circuit boards 31, 32 and 33, the interconnect structure 34, a battery 35 and a housing 37. The circuit board 33 is disposed between the speaker 30 and the battery 35, which causes electromagnetic interference to the speaker 30 and thus degrades the acoustic performance of the acoustic device 3. The housing 37 encloses the speaker 30, the circuit boards 31, 32 and 33, the interconnect structures 34, and the battery 35. Antenna patterns 38 are formed on the housing 37. A feeding point (not denoted in FIG. 3C) on the circuit board 33 is in contact with the antenna patterns 38.

FIG. 3D illustrates a side view of an assembly of the acoustic device 3 shown in FIG. 3C. In some embodiments, assuming the diameter of the speaker inside the acoustic device 3 is 6 mm, the maximum distance Z3 between an end 37 a (which can be fitted or plugged into an ear) and an end 37 b is equal to or larger than 23 mm. Because the thickness T1 shown in FIG. 3B is larger than the distance between an end 12 a of the semiconductor device package 12 and the end 11 a of the battery 11 along the z axis in FIG. 1B, the maximum distance Z3 of the acoustic device 3 is larger than the maximum distance Z1 of the acoustic device 1.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the acoustic device 1 shown in FIG. 1B is plugged into a human ear. The center of gravity CM1 may be adjacent or close to the end 14 b. Due to the miniaturization of the acoustic device 1, when plugging the acoustic device 1 into the ear, the acoustic device 1 can be in contact with a point P of the ear. Accordingly, the acoustic device 1 can have a relatively good support of the ear. Accordingly, the acoustic device 1 would not easily fall out of the even when the person wearing the acoustic device 1 is moving or sweating.

Referring to FIG. 4B, the acoustic device 3 shown in FIG. 3D is plugged into a human ear. The center of gravity CM2 may be adjacent or close to the end 37 b.

The acoustic device 3, which may have a relatively great size, may have a major portion (except the plug) that is floating. The acoustic device 3 may be spaced from the point P of the human ear. A distance D1 is between the top surface of the acoustic device 3 and the human ear.

FIG. 4C illustrates that the acoustic device 3 starts falling off the ear when the person wearing the acoustic device 3 swears, moves or change positions. The falling of the acoustic device 3 may be resulted from an unstable state as shown in FIG. 4B, in which the center of gravity CM2 may cause the acoustic device 3, which lacks support of the ear, relatively easy to fall out of the ear.

It is contemplated that a distance D2 from the top surface of the acoustic device 3 and the human ear is increasing due to the falling of the acoustic device 3. The distance D2 is larger than the distance D1.

FIG. 7 illustrates an exploded view of an acoustic device 7 in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. The acoustic device 7 includes a speaker 70, a battery 71, a semiconductor device package 72, an interconnect structure 73 and a housing 74. The speaker has a surface 70 a and a surface 70 b opposite to the surface 70 a. The battery 71 has a surface 71 a, a surface 71 b opposite the surface 71 a, and a surface 71 c extended between the surface 71 a and the surface 71 b. The battery 71 has a package different from the battery 11 as shown in FIGS. 1A and 2A. The battery 71 is connected to a protecting circuit 71 d. The battery 71 includes a lithium rechargeable battery. The battery 71 includes an aluminum cover. The protecting circuit 71 d can control the voltages and currents flowed into the battery 71. The protecting circuit 71 d can control the voltages and currents flowed out of the battery 71.

A maximum distance Z4 between an end 74 a (which can be fitted or plugged into an ear) and an end 74 b along the z axis can be equal to or larger than 24 mm.

The size of the battery 71 is dependent on temperature. As the battery 71 has been working for a while, the temperature of the battery 71 will increase, which causes the size of the battery 71 to increase. Therefore, a relatively great space (not denoted in FIG. 7) for accommodating the battery 71 is included because the battery 71 will inflate after use. Accordingly, the distance between the battery 71 and the semiconductor device package 72 will increase. The distance between the battery 71 and the semiconductor device package 72 will increase.

Assuming a lithium rechargeable battery with aluminum cover is used as the battery 71, the capacity of the battery 71 may be less than 50 mAh. For example, the battery 71 may include capacity of approximately 45 mAh.

Furthermore, a relatively great space (not denoted in FIG. 7) for accommodating the battery 71 is included because the battery 71 will inflate after use. Assuming the battery 11 includes a capacity similar to that of the battery 71, the size of the acoustic device 7 including the battery 71 may be larger than that of the acoustic device 1 including the battery 11.

Spatial descriptions, such as “above,” “below,” “up,” “left,” “right,” “down,” “top,” “bottom,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “side,” “higher,” “lower,” “upper,” “over,” “under,” and so forth, are indicated with respect to the orientation shown in the figures unless otherwise specified. It should be understood that the spatial descriptions used herein are for purposes of illustration only, and that practical implementations of the structures described herein can be spatially arranged in any orientation or manner, provided that the merits of embodiments of this disclosure are not deviated from by such an arrangement.

As used herein, the terms “approximately,” “substantially,” “substantial” and “about” are used to describe and account for small variations. When used in conjunction with an event or circumstance, the terms can refer to instances in which the event or circumstance occurs precisely as well as instances in which the event or circumstance occurs to a close approximation. For example, when used in conjunction with a numerical value, the terms can refer to a range of variation less than or equal to ±10% of that numerical value, such as less than or equal to ±5%, less than or equal to ±4%, less than or equal to ±3%, less than or equal to ±2%, less than or equal to ±1%, less than or equal to ±0.5%, less than or equal to ±0.1%, or less than or equal to ±0.05%. For example, a first numerical value can be deemed to be “substantially” the same or equal to a second numerical value if the first numerical value is within a range of variation of less than or equal to ±10% of the second numerical value, such as less than or equal to ±5%, less than or equal to ±4%, less than or equal to ±3%, less than or equal to ±2%, less than or equal to ±1%, less than or equal to ±0.5%, less than or equal to ±0.1%, or less than or equal to ±0.05%. For example, “substantially” perpendicular can refer to a range of angular variation relative to 90° that is less than or equal to ±10°, such as less than or equal to ±5°, less than or equal to ±4°, less than or equal to ±3°, less than or equal to ±2°, less than or equal to ±1°, less than or equal to ±0.5°, less than or equal to ±0.1°, or less than or equal to ±0.05°.

Two surfaces can be deemed to be coplanar or substantially coplanar if a displacement between the two surfaces is no greater than 5 μm, no greater than 2 μm, no greater than 1 μm, or no greater than 0.5 μm. A surface can be deemed to be substantially flat if a displacement between a highest point and a lowest point of the surface is no greater than 5 μm, no greater than 2 μm, no greater than 1 μm, or no greater than 0.5 μm.

As used herein, the singular terms “a,” “an,” and “the” may include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

As used herein, the terms “conductive,” “electrically conductive” and “electrical conductivity” refer to an ability to transport an electric current. Electrically conductive materials typically indicate those materials that exhibit little or no opposition to the flow of an electric current. One measure of electrical conductivity is Siemens per meter (S/m). Typically, an electrically conductive material is one having a conductivity greater than approximately 10⁴ S/m, such as at least 10⁵ S/m or at least 10⁶ S/m. The electrical conductivity of a material can sometimes vary with temperature. Unless otherwise specified, the electrical conductivity of a material is measured at room temperature.

Additionally, amounts, ratios, and other numerical values are sometimes presented herein in a range format. It is to be understood that such range format is used for convenience and brevity and should be understood flexibly to include numerical values explicitly specified as limits of a range, but also to include all individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub-range is explicitly specified.
